Dark forces are at work at the House of Night and fledgling vampyre Zoey Redbird?s adventures at the school take a mysterious turn. Those who appear to be friends are turning out to be enemies. And oddly enough, sworn enemies are also turning into friends. So begins the gripping third installment of this ?highly addictive series? (Romantic Times), in which Zoey?s mettle will be tested like never before. Her best friend, Stevie Rae, is undead and struggling to maintain a grip on her humanity. Zoey doesn?t have a clue how to help her, but she does know that anything she and Stevie Rae discover must be kept secret from everyone else at the House of Night, where trust has become a rare commodity. Speaking of rare: Zoey finds herself in the very unexpected and rare position of having three boyfriends. Mix a little bloodlust into the equation and the situation has the potential to spell social disaster. Just when it seems things couldn?t get any tougher, vampyres start turning up dead. Really dead. It looks like the People of Faith, and Zoey?s horrid step-father in particular, are tired of living side-by-side with vampyres. But, as Zoey and her friends so often find out, how things appear rarely reflects the truth?
About as good as the twilight series

I started reading the first book of this series about 5 days ago and was hooked. I almost liked it more than the twilight series. I love the action and different spin P.C. Cast and her daughter take to create this amazing young adults vampire series! You all will love it if you loved the Twilight series.
Good Series

I like these series but if you want Vampire don't read this one. It is more about the earth, and other elements but not enough blood sucking stuff. :) Not to say I don't like the story of all the books in the series. It just doesn't do a whole lot about vampires. She loses all her men in this book but at least she got some kind of action. I did not like the 4th book.
Sexy!

Paranormal YA
Rating: 4 Enchantments
The third book in the House of Night series, CHOSEN picks up shortly after `Betrayed'. Dealing with the secrets she has to hide from her friends, knowing that any knowledge of Stevie Ray's condition could put them, not too mentions Stevie Ray, in jeopardy, Zoey decides the safest thing for all involved is to keep the secret to herself...and Aphrodite. But that's not the only thing she has to deal with. Heath is still desperate to maintain their relationship, Erik is her vampyre boyfriend and Poet Laureat Lorne Blake is making her contemplate having three boyfriends at once.
My biggest issue with CHOSEN was it felt like there was a good portion of the book that was a rehash of back story and that had me skimming sections to get past what I already knew. However, there are more than enough unexpected twists and jaw dropping turns that kept me glued to the story. The conflict between Neferet and Zoey deepens, almost hitting a crescendo with a startling discovery of just what exactly the high priestess is willing to do to destroy Zoey. Aphrodite becomes a frenemy of sorts to Zoey, something the group just can't understand with their limited knowledge of what is actually going on.
I love the dynamic between Zoey and Aphrodite, the friendship that seems to be forming between them or at least a very unlikely alliance. Now that Aphrodite is on Neferet's bad side, the two girls have some common ground, including the fact that they're the only two at the House of Night whose minds she can't read.
Look for UNTAMED, the fourth book in this great series to release September 2008.
